This white paper articulates the business benefits derived by companies that have deployed a NGFW solution. The data is based on in–depth interviews with eight McAfee customers. These companies were mostly large organizations with an average employee base of 7,082. Interviewees came from a variety of industries — energy, financial services, manufacturing, retail, service provider, technology, and education.

Critical Security Controls (CSCs) help organizations break down operational silos by providing a pragmatic blueprint detailing where to focus efforts to achieve the greatest results. This white paper maps the quick wins within the first five CSCs to associated McAfee products, services, and partner solution capabilities — all part of the Security Connected platform.

In this white paper, we look at how McAfee Security Management Center, which is included in McAfee Next Generation Firewall, enables IT administrators to be more efficient, especially as their networks increase in complexity. Simple, scalable, and cost effective, McAfee Security Management Center has received consistently high customer satisfaction ratings over the past 10 years.

In today’s dynamic economic climate, network availability and performance is more important than ever before. An enterprise’s success is dependent on a well-functioning, secure network. Instead of a bolt-on approach to network security, built-in network availability and performance solutions such as McAfee Next Generation Firewall can simplify network security while boosting performance and keeping costs down.

With threats from cyberattacks on the rise and access to advanced skill sets in short supply, organizations are looking to Managed Service Providers to outsource and fill the gap. McAfee Next Generation Firewall offers the advanced security, flexibility, and multitenant control needed to protect businesses while growing yours.

Sophisticated cybercriminals are using advanced evasion techniques (AET), which deliver an exploit or malicious content into a vulnerable target so that the traffic looks normal, to bypass most existing security solutions. McAfee Next Generation Firewall applies sophisticated analysis techniques specifically to detect this type of attack.

This is the executive summary to the report discussing how CIOs and CISOs can avoid risky tradeoffs and boost threat defenses by deploying next-generation firewalls that are built for both security and network performance.

Industry Experts Speak Out: The Network Performance and Security Trade-Off report is a collection of insights and opinions from network security experts discussing the common and risky tradeoff many organizations are forced to make between network performance and security.

McAfee NGFW 5206 appliance is compared directly with 11 competitive next-generation firewall products. Detailed comparisons are provided across the categories of security, performance, and total cost of ownership (TCO) and presented in an aggregated graph.

Independent testing lab Miercom performed comprehensive throughput and scalability testing on the McAfee NGFW 5206 appliance. Testing was performed with application control, deep packet inspection, and antivirus enabled, and in configurations of one to four clusters.

Threats aimed at corporate entities and enterprises are rapidly evolving, with targeted attacks becoming the norm and advanced persistent threats (APTs) increasing. What's more, APTs have been further fueled by the rise of advanced evasion techniques (AETs), which help APTs bypass firewalls, security appliances, and endpoint security products. The answer to APTs and AETs is advanced next-generation firewall software. This technology review examines the McAfee Next Generation Firewall solution that's designed to quell today's security concerns by combining a plethora of security technologies with obfuscation techniques that successfully thwart attacks.

Find out what industry experts from the US and Europe are saying about advanced evasion techniques (AETs). You’ll learn why they are growing concern, why technology alone is not enough to keep them in check, and how they will shape the future of enterprise security.

This report presents the results of ESG Lab’s hands-on testing of McAfee Next Generation Firewall. The evaluation validates the solution’s capability to deliver scalable, highly available network security that goes beyond the basic requirements of a next-generation firewall.

One of the dirty little secret weapons hackers use to bypass security systems and penetrate even the most locked-down
networks are advanced evasion techniques (AETs). While AETs are not a secret among the hacking community—where
they are well known and have been in widespread use for several years—there are misunderstandings, misinterpretation,
and ineffective safeguards in use by the security experts charged with blocking AETs.
